Ready to try the Softcup?

First try these helpful steps:

Remember the first few times you used a tampon or wore contact lenses? Well the Softcup™ can also take a little time to learn to use correctly and comfortably.   At first it may seem awkward to either insert or remove. That's OKAY most women experience that.

Here are some TIPS to help you have a successful experience with the Softcup™

• Unlike a tampon, when inserting the Softcup™, you should PUSH BACK, not up for proper placement.


• When removing the Softcup™, we suggest using your middle finger to gently hook under the Softcup™ rim, as your middle finger tends to be slightly longer than your index finger.

  Always Remember

  When you are ready to remove the  Softcup™, try not to pull the cup straight down. Rather, keep the cup level to the floor to avoid spilling the contents.


• The  Softcup™ can often be worn twice as long as a tampon:



• When getting ready to participate in strenuous exercises, like biking, running, swimming, or sexual intercourse, we recommend inserting a fresh Softcup™.
  **Remember that the Softcup™ cannot be re-used and should NOT be worn for more than 12 hours.


• Always properly dispose of a used Softcup™. You may want to wrap the used Softcup™ in toilet paper and then put it into the old wrapper or just simply wrap the cup in toilet paper and place it in an appropriate waste container. Be careful NOT to FLUSH the Softcup™.
